I agree that it's a dumb comparison, but two things... 1.) We don't get to pick and choose when hypotheticals count. If you're going to count the...
To be clear, and I know the people in this thread won't believe it until they see it... but I meant down the road, once there are buyouts and...
Stick with the facts, and there's not that much difference between the spending of Les Alexander and what we've seen thus far from Tilman...
Just like Tilman was about to fork over whatever he had to re-sign Jimmy Butler to a 5-year max, had Minnesota taken Houston's offer last fall....
To this day, 538 gets so much grief over a certain 30% probability of theirs that happened. Yet, these same people would probably bring an...
You can make the last two years non-guaranteed, though, which effectively makes it a 1-year deal.
Wait, what? We have way more data on Les than we do Tilman. With Fertitta, we've had basically one season and 2.5 weeks. If there's a "for sure"...
As far as margins go, 0.68 is a decent size. At the end of the day, though, it's just one of numerous models. No reason yet to think that this is...
Just going by the eye test, I'm a little skeptical of a metric that has Westbrook's 2016 as superior to his 2017. The difference in him being a...

I agree with you that I don't believe the Rockets offered the leftover T-MLE back then. However, I'm also skeptical that House would have accepted...
I appreciate that. My main point: I just wish people would pick their battles better. If folks start spinning everything negative for the sake of...
I've never felt that way (regarding press passes). Seriously, the guy I quoted (regarding House) listed like 10 complaints. I took issue with 1...
Some would say (and have said) they need youth. That said, obviously you don't have to agree. That's fine. But we shouldn't act like they didn't...
Serious question on this: What if Danuel House turns out to be good? I won't speak for everybody, but for me... I wasn't at all optimistic on...
LOL @ these...
It's one thing to spend over the cap, and it's another to max out guys for 4 or 5 years in their 30s. Agree with all the rest of your points, though.
Fair enough. And for the record, I'm in agreement that this trade not being expanded makes it crystal clear that there is definitely a limit....
